Viewpost seeks incentives to add 262 jobs in Maitland

Maitland-based Viewpost, which provides an electronic platform for paying invoices, is seeking $1.8 million in financial incentives to expand.

The company plans to add 262 high-wage positions, mostly in programming and and software, according to a description of the project.

Attempts to interview someone with Viewpost for more information were not immediately successful on Thursday.

The company CEO is Max Eliscu. The chairmand of the board is Rick Walsh, former executive at Darden Restaurants.

Orange County is set to consider its portion of the incentives, 10 percent or $183,400, at the Sept. 9 meeting of the Board of County Commissioners. The City of Maitland will also consider pitching in $183,400. The county expects the expansion to add $1.9 million to the county tax roll.

According to the project description, the average salary of the jobs is at least $80,828. Like most incentive packages, the incentives are designed to make sure the company doesn’t move to another location.

Viewpost anticipates that the new jobs will be created according to the following schedule: 82 jobs by December 2014; 90 jobs by 2015; and another 90 by the end of 2016.
